• Catherine Wyatt : Are you sure about Mr. Van Layden? I mean, won't you get into a lot of trouble if you're wrong?

  Captain Scott : Wouldn't you like to see me drummed out of my regiment? Paraded before the troops? Medals torn off my manly bosom? I used to think that would be just your cup of tea.

  Catherine Wyatt : They don't really do all that, do they?

  Captain Scott : Well, of course they do! And my best friend calls on me in my quarters, hands me a loaded revolver and says, "Carruthers, its the only way out for a gentleman."

• Bridie : It seems a bit extreme to me locking him up like that, after all what can he do?

  Catherine Wyatt : The idea of locking him up is so that we don't have to find out what he can do, Mr. Bridie.

  Bridie : I don't suppose he's even got anything to read.
